  • Spacious and pretty site on the shores of the Firth of Forth
  • Convenient public transport to Edinburgh, or a 20-minute drive
  • Dog-walking area, playground and modern, clean amenities
Don't fret about whether to focus on the choice of accommodation or the location of dog-friendly Drummohr Camping and Glamping Site in gorgeous East Lothian, for both are equally special. The location of the site is an excellent one, in the grounds of an old monastery with plenty of space and partial views of the Firth of Forth from some parts. Variety is key here: you can have urban or rural days out. Edinburgh is in one direction (and accessible by bus or train) and the East Lothian coast and countryside in the other – the Edinburgh to Prestonpans section of the 134-mile path John Muir Way passes within five minutes of the site entrance. More? The sands and shoreline of the coast are a few miles away, it's 25 minutes' drive to popular North Berwick, and there's even a golf club (the Royal Musselburgh) right next door… Like the accommodation and grounds, the Drummohr amenities are modern, clean and well maintained by Angie and her team: there are two refurbished tiled shower and toilet blocks with chemical disposal, accessible family bathrooms with baths, an indoor campers' kitchen with vending machines, and a fully equipped laundry room with metered facilities. Drinking water points and waste disposal are both close to the spacious pitches and there's a licensed shop selling local produce and essentials on site too. Final little touches? How about a playground, a dog-walking area and the option to hire firepits to keep you warm on chillier evenings…

JACKIE B.

Powered grass tent campsite (large)

Liked The staff there were really helpful. The grounds of the site were beautifully maintained, there was a nice wee walk around the outside edge of the site. The amenities were great, loved the shower. For a very busy site it was a very peaceful site.

Barbara B.

Powered gravel and cement/asphalt RV campsite (small)

Liked Staff were very helpful when I asked to swap pitches (for better privacy). Showers are really excellent...clean, hot, powerful, big cubicles, free and no annoying push buttons! Nice to have hairdryer available. The campers' kitchen was also great... microwave, toaster, kettle, fridges and an eating area. Site is spacious and very well maintained. Quiet at night. Loved being able to walk to bus stop for Edinburgh and Portobello Beach (frequent, cheap buses). Reasonably good WiFi on the pitch.

Disliked My initial pitch was very close to adjacent ones, so surrounded on all sides by other vans and the road through the site. Second pitch in grass area was MUCH nicer. A little train noise during the day but not at night. Strict rules about which way round you can position your van seemed unnecessary and didn't aid privacy.

Liked The site is beautiful, the grounds are well kept and it was such a peaceful atmosphere. Was great for the quiet break away. The warden who showed us to our pitch was so informative, amazing customer service! The dog walk was perfect for our dog and we loved the little touches along the way, overall a great place to stay 😊

Liked We had a lovely stay here. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. The site is very peaceful, clean and well maintained. The location was ideal for our needs with easy access to the beautiful coastal path and bus service into Edinburgh. We will definitely stay again and would recommend for a nice quiet break.

Sarah Q.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite (large)

Liked Great site for bus into Edinburgh, good walking and cycling from site. Really helpful staff. Clean site with good well cared for facilities. Our second visit yet sadly our last, second time we were given a really poor pitch when far nicer pitches remained empty.

Disliked Have to pitch as told with no choice, lots of empty pitches in the sunshine yet we were parked so we just got shade.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Would definitely come back.

Local attractions

The local bus to the festival city of Edinburgh (25 minutes' drive) runs every 10 minutes during the day, every 20 minutes in the evenings, and every hour at night; the journey takes about 40 minutes. The train from Wallyford runs every hour and takes 10 minutes. There are numerous things to see and do in excellent Edinburgh, but if you're only spending one or two days there, recommended options are the castle, Holyrood Palace, the National Museum of Scotland and the zoo (which has first-class views of the city). Elsewhere, Drummohr's location makes it easy to get to all types of days out around the coast and countryside: golf courses, historic houses and stately homes. The Prestongrange Industrial Heritage Museum (five minutes) has free entry and is a few minutes' walk from the park. Musselburgh (also five minutes) has a lovely walk along the John Muir Way. Other recommended trips nearby include Tantallon Castle (35 minutes) on its headland overlooking the Firth of Forth, trailing nature in John Muir Country Park (25 minutes) or the Lammermuir Hills (40 minutes), an afternoon among the gardens at Tyninghame House (25 minutes), or taking a boat ride around Bass Rock (half an hour to the North Berwick ferry) to see the gannet colony. If the Bass Rock boat ride gets you pondering more about the winged life of the area, the Scottish Seabird Centre is also in pretty seaside North Berwick. At nearby Dunbar (25 minutes), about 60 breeding pairs of kittiwakes are found near the harbour, and nearby East Links Family Park is child-friendly.
